Speaking of road construction, Jiang Ailian began to become serious and no longer showed me his face. When I finished talking about the banquet at Zheng Changyin's house, she felt incredible and kept looking at me, thinking that I was lying.

Why, I have gold on my face, or did I look at you just now, and I want to come back now? I joked

Which one is rare to see you, it's not interesting

She turned her eyes away and asked: Why is this Zheng Changyin so enthusiastic? It’s completely different from the last time?

It is personal that I can see that there is a problem here, but if you don’t take advantage of it, you are a bastard. But what exactly is Lu Town that I care about? I asked casually: Village Chief Jiang, do you know the history of our Lu Town?

history?

She doesn't know what it means to change the topic suddenly.

right

I nodded

Why did you suddenly study this thing

It's okay, I'll just ask

I know nothing when I look at her expression, so I just ended the topic

It's smoking, everyone, go and see it, it's smoking!

The sudden sound scared both of us and looked at each other: It was on fire!

The two of them hurriedly ran outside and found that the waiter with freckles downstairs was shouting in the middle of the yard. When she saw us coming out, she shouted even more happily: Go and see, the top scholar is smoking, and our county town is about to produce the top scholar again

After saying that, he ran out without caring about our surprise.

Let's go and have a look

I turned around and greeted Jiang Ailian, and she nodded and followed me down.

Fortunately, I walked downstairs and quickly walked, stopped a numb cart, and rushed to the top scholar tower.

When the numb master heard that we were heading towards the priest tower, he started the machine without saying a word. He thought we were in the county town to do business, and did not know the smoke from the priest tower, so he introduced us enthusiastically while driving.

Decades ago, residents living near the Zhuangyuan Tower accidentally discovered a strange phenomenon: blue smoke emerged at the top of the ancient tower, which did not attract attention at the beginning, but later, the more you looked at it, the more you became strange.

As soon as the sun starts from south, there is a wisp of black smoke floating on the top of the ancient tower, and it disappears at noon.

Surprisingly, the smoke time of this ancient tower is also very punctual, and it starts to emerge out at around 10 am every day, so a large number of people come to watch. Some say that the Zhuangzi Tower once suppressed a monster, and now the seal that suppressed the monster has begun to leak, and some think that it is the appearance of the Bodhisattva. Of course, some think that someone burns flammable objects in the tower. The smoke is obviously caused by the smoke. However, it is obvious that the last statement is untenable, because the ancient tower has been a long time ago and people have been prohibited from climbing. In order to prevent accidents, a large iron lock is locked on the main door, and no one has held it in the tower for many years.

This scene was made of ancient towers and smoky, which is also a scene in the county town. Master Mamu thought we didn't understand it. In fact, I had already read the "XX County Chronicle". Although the county chronicle only records the three smokes of the priest tower in recent decades of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the most witnessed were around the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1971. Every morning, wisps of blue smoke rose from the top of the tower. It was clearly visible that it lasted for about half an hour and disappeared for more than half a day. No fewer than thousands of onlookers every day became a sensation of X South.

It is said that several university professors organized workers to climb to the top of the tower, used a yarn net to trap the smoke in it, and brought it back to the capital for research. The final conclusion was that the so-called black smoke was the result of a large number of rotten-eating mosquitoes flying on the smell of decayed objects.

Because rotten mosquitoes often start mating at around 10 a.m., it often appears when the sun is strong.

At that time, this incident was published in major newspapers and magazines. The so-called ancient tower smoked and the truth was revealed, which relieved the doubts of the masses.

I always sneer at the truth above. The so-called experts and professors of the Great Qin State are too worthless. I am afraid they can only fool the people. I really don’t know if the so-called rotten mosquitoes are crazy and what to do when they run to the top of the tower for nothing. The county annals clearly record that it was winter when it was smoke. The rotten mosquitoes’ resistance to freezing is really strong, and the heights are so cold. Aren’t they afraid of being exposed?

When we arrived, we could say that there were crowds of people around the Zhuangyuan Tower. On the open space under the tower, on both sides of the road next to it, and even in front of the roof windows of the surrounding houses, there were crowds of people standing in a row. Many people were holding cameras in their hands and shooting at the top of the tower. Some people were wearing telescopes and screaming while watching.

After giving money to Master Mami, Jiang Ailian and I squeezed into the crowd, afraid that the two of us would get separated, so I pulled Jiang Ailian's hand. She just made a little effort, and in the end she followed my wishes.

Unfortunately, there are too many people and we can't squeeze in. We can only watch from afar. At the top of the ancient tower, a stream of blue smoke appeared faintly, sometimes becoming thicker, and suddenly became faint, as if a veil flying in the wind spread into the entire sky.

Everything seems to be conveying something to the world. Everyone knows that the ancient pagoda has treasures. Because when building pagodas, you usually have to calm the ground, so you often build underground palaces under the pagoda, and put Buddhist objects in it.

I don’t know why, a thought came out in my mind, will the smoke from the top scholar tower have something to do with Lu Town? I have been upset these days, always thinking that the invitation is about to happen again, will it be the smoke from the top scholar tower?

It's really smoke, Professor Liu!

I was thinking when suddenly a voice rang in my ears

professor?

I couldn't help but turn my head towards them, and I saw an old man wearing eyes and gray hair holding a telescope looking at the top of the tower with his eyes looking at the top of the tower with his eyes.

Next to it is a young man wearing white short-sleeved shirt, also wearing a pair of glasses, looking gentle and graceful.

Of course, you think this is fake

The professor did not notice anyone watching them, after all, everyone's eyes are now gathering on the tower.

But I heard something from their conversation, that is, they knew that the cigarette was not a rotten mosquito-eating. Especially Professor Liu's voice certainly made me believe in my opinion even more, so I let go of Jiang Ailian's hand and slowly approached the two of them.

Then will the things we are looking for have something to do with this tower? The young man asked in a low voice

I'm afraid there is, do you know who built this tower first?

The professor also responded in a low voice

Wasn't it built by Gong Yi, the top scholar?

The young man asked strangely, I was also interested, listening with my ears on my back

Haha, it was later that the top scholar Gong Yi built this tower. This is what ordinary people think. After all, this tower is called the top scholar tower.

The old man seemed to want to show off his knowledge in front of his disciples, so he believed in the explanation: Do you know that there is a tower recorded in the history of the county town.

What tower?

Tibetan Xuan Tower

Why don't I know this

The young man looked at Professor Liu in confusion, and I was also confused, because this was the first time I heard of the Zangxuan Tower.

You don't know it's normal. You're not sure, you're looking for the ancient deer city, the woods are empty and woodcutters are entering the road, the soft sand and the steep mountain walls are steep in the sky, the sound of the flowing springs and the sound of millet seedlings are still lush, the territory is still remembering the past, the clothes are so strong that they personally awarded the Sikong League, the emperor paid attention to the business and the feudal achievements, and the temple was first privately moved to Fu Yu, and the road was tinned and Fan Ying...

Professor Liu suddenly came with such an ancient poem at the beginning of the year

This poem is wrong...

The young man looked at the professor named Liu incredibly

That's right

But the old professor interrupted his words. This is the original appearance of this poem. It was just that Lucheng, namely Luyi, was deliberately changed. Its direction is on the east bank of the X River, forty or fifty miles north of Zangxuan Temple.

You mean Luyi is...

The young man was shocked again

In fact, not only him, I was shocked, and I didn't expect to overheard this secret

Of course, Luyi is talking about Lu Town. If it is Zangxuan Temple, then forty or fifty miles north of Zangxuan Temple is exactly Lu Town.

Thinking of this, my heart began to pound. Sure enough, this top scholar tower, no, to be more precise, is related to the Zangxuan Tower and Lu Town.

But why was this Zangxuan Pagoda changed to the Zhuangyuan Pagoda? My question began to arise again, but there was no record in this historical county annals. Could it be that like the rural agenda of Lu Town, they have been modified by others, or this history has long been submerged

But he knew exactly where Professor Liu came from.

Judging from his tone, he obviously knows this place very well, and it may even be specially made for this.

Let me tell you that the predecessor of this pagoda was Zangxuan Pagoda, and the Zhuangyuan Pagoda itself was just rebuilt on its former site. It was just that the Zangxuan Pagoda had collapsed for nearly seven hundred years when it was rebuilt. Therefore, later generations only knew that the Zangxuan Temple was not known as the Zangxuan Pagoda and even thought that this pagoda was first built by Gong Yi, the Zhuangxuan Pagoda. Therefore, this pagoda is called the Zangxuan Pagoda.

There was such a secret history. I was secretly lucky. They never expected that someone would listen with his ears not far away.

This tower was first built by Liu Feng of the Great Han Dynasty...

What, Liu Feng!

My mind almost exploded

I heard him again, Liu Feng, this mysterious figure, he was not at all revealed in history, but everything here is related to him. Even an ancient tower is a symbol of his existence in the world.

Liu Feng? What we are looking for this time... The young man also said in surprise

right

The professor was obviously startled by the voice of his disciples. He looked around and found that no one was paying attention and said in a low voice, "You can speak softly."

But Master... Is this tower really owned by Liu Fengjian?

Of course, there is still fake, do you think I'm talking nonsense

It is obvious that Professor Liu cannot tolerate it

No, I'm just wondering how the teacher knows so much

Do you know what my surname is? The professor suddenly asked

The professor's surname is Liu naturally? The young man replied

I also find it funny. You are all called Professor Liu. Is your surname still Ma? My real surname is 'Gong'

Gong? The top scholar Gong Yi? This idea immediately popped up in my mind
